 WISEGUYS - JUMPSTART
My name is Marco. They used to call me Bruises. I lived the life but it wasn’t worth it, kid. I lost my youth and my
family. After I got out of the can, I went back to school. Now I’m reduced to workin’ as a damn parole officer while I write
my frickin’ autobiography.
I know you probably don’t want to hear this and just wish you could enjoy your drink in peace but I’m gonna tell ya
a story. I see people like you, men and women, arrive in Vegas with dollar signs plastered all over their faces every day.
So lemme paintcha a picture. It’s the mid-70s, and there’s a small-time real estate investor by the name of Allen Glick
who gets himself a Nevada gamin’ license, then purchases the Hacienda Hotel & Casino, the Stardust Resort & Casino,
the Fremont Hotel & Casino and the Marina Hotel with a loan from the Teamsters Pension Fund.
Glick doesn't know it yet, but the fund is managed by the Mob. The strawman can’t do nothin’ but watch as Frank
“Lefty” Rosenthal, who’s a sports handicapper and mob associate, takes over as the manager.
Over the next decade, Rosenthal proceeds to skim millions of dollars from the casinos for the Chicago, Milwaukee and
Kansas City families. Anthony “The Ant” Spilotro, who happens to be a Chicago Outfit enforcer, is brought in to protect
the Mob’s interests in Las Vegas.
Unfortunately, the frickin’ arrogance of this notorious duo ultimately leads to their downfall. Unwillin’ to play along
with Gamin’ Board politics, and because of his known mob ties, Rosenthal is denied access to the very casinos he’d previ-
ously been managin’ under the cover of various job titles. Without a gamin’ license, he’s forced to manage those casinos
from his residence through various proxies.
Meanwhile, Spilotro continues to make headlines with court appearances.
Although he ain’t convicted of any crime, this crazy, vicious mobster reigns
supreme in the streets with his associates known as the Hole in the Wall
Gang once his name ends up on the Blacklist, which prevents him from
even enterin’ any gamblin’ establishments.
Convinced his excesses will go unnoticed by the bosses back east, the
Ant breaks the mobster code by whackin’ guys without approval and
sleepin’ with Rosenthal’s wife. Big mistake I tell ya!
It’s no surprise that by the mid-80s, Rosenthal and Spilotro are
outta the picture. A failed car bombin’ convinces Frank to skip town
with his family, and Tony Spilotro’s body is found buried in a corn-
field in Indiana.
Back east, big-time U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani spearheads
the Mafia Commission Trial in which several organized crime
figures – includin’ the heads of the Five Families – are convicted.
The testimony of undercover agent Donnie Brasco and evidence
gathered by F.B.I. surveillance cut deep in the prosecution of these
notorious wise guys. In the years to come, sentences and internal
wars decimate the Mob ranks. It’s the end of an era.
In the aftermath of the Mafia Commission Trial, La Cosa Nostra
in New York and Chicago is routed and leaderless. At this point
we’re feelin’ the heat, so some of us goodfellas decide to take our
skills and dreams to the Nevada desert. Some do ok, but others...
like me...well, you already know how that turns out...
So now it’s the 90s, and Sin City’s Underworld has been taken
over by the Cartels and Chinese Tongs. Despite this, La Cosa
Nostra never gives up. They’ve recruited a new brand of associates
and local personalities – each one more flamboyant than the next.
Safecrackers, shylocks, Elvis impersonators, glow girls, roller derby
girls, and gamblers join in with them to – hopefully – rule Las
Vegas once more!
You think you have what it takes to fly under the radar of the
feds while wranglin’ the rackets back from the Cartels, kid? Go right
ahead! We’ll be seein’ each other soon.

LA COSA NOSTRA
WHAT IS THIS?
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to
be a gangster. This JumpStart is an introduction to Wiseguys,
a Savage Worlds Adventure Edition setting by Just
Henry Hill Insert Imagination.
Characters in Wiseguys are part of the Mafia one way Wiseguys is a crime setting inspired by the
or another. They might be low-level associates recruited movie Casino by Martin Scorsese, and crime fiction
from Las Vegas’ criminal underbelly, transients, enter- movies by Quentin Tarantino of the 90s such as

wise guy doesn’t earn a Reward their Wealth die goes
down one step. When a wise guy goes broke, the boss
starts to seriously question his level of dedication to the
family. What this entails is totally up to the Don but may
involve loss of privileges, demotion, humiliation, or the
end of a career with the family (meaning an indefinite
coffin vacation).

HEISTS
Heists are a staple of good mobster stories. With so
much money up for grabs everywhere in the valley,
the crew is expected to perform several of these over
the course of their criminal career. The Underworld,
gambling establishment and Law Enforcement have
wised up to robberies and breaking and entering over
the years. Their security teams are trained to recognize
patterns and halt any attempt to rob them or threaten
the security of tourists which the city is so dependent on.
Scoundrels must navigate through various levels of
security and coordinate their efforts to reach the cov-
eted prize.
Dramatic Tasks
These are perfect to run heist scenes with. Use the
Multiple Skills option with a different skill for every
step, and performed by a different “lead” (until every
member of the crew has taken their turn). If a scoundrel
wants to Support the efforts of the “lead”, they can only
4
use the same skill once per scene. Completing a heist
is like a game of chess. It’s important for wise guys to
think several moves ahead!
Influence a Story
By spending a Benny, a player character may influ-
ence a story by enabling their character to use a different
skill to face a step of the Dramatic Task than the one
determined by the Don. This can take the form of a
flashback scene where a situation had previously been
set up by the crew to facilitate the Heist. It could involve
bribing a guard the day before, making a forged copy of
the item to be stolen, placing a device to create a diver-
sion, inserting a tap into a closed circuit network, or
acquiring proper uniforms to blend in.
Quick Encounters
If the heist isn’t a pivotal part of the scenario or the
group is running out of time, Quick Encounters may be
used to run a heist. In this case, each heist participant
must select a different skill. A heist is a team effort and

its success depends on every member of the team (and
their particular skill) contributing to the effort.
Example
The crew’s hired to rob the Safari Casino, and the
Don informs them they need to successfully complete 4
tasks. First they need to slip past security using Stealth.
Second, they must gain access to the restricted area
by bypassing the locks with Electronics. Once in the
restricted area they can disable the closed-circuit televi-
sion with Hacking. Finally, the only way to get through
the vault door is to blow it up with Explosives (a skill
found in the Wiseguys setting book).
When it’s time to bypass the lock with Electronics,
The Amazing Linda played by Teri realizes she doesn’t
have that skill so she asks the Don if she may spend a
Benny to Influence the Story and use Thievery to pick
the pockets of a casino employee instead.
NEW HINDRANCES
The Cooler (Minor)
You turn anyone’s luck to mush. There’ve been times
in the past when people around you have caught on
to that and given you a beating. Usually, you just get
excluded by your peers when gambling is involved.
You and everybody within a Large Blast Template
centered around you, or room (whichever is smaller)
are unable to spend Bennies on Gambling rolls.
The Usual Suspect (Major)
Nicky Santoro: If a guy tripped over a banana peel,
they'd frickin’ bring me in for it.
Casino (1995)
Your reputation as a criminal precedes you and you
are well known to law enforcement. You are constantly
the victim of harassment and surveillance. When a
crime is committed in the city, the cops or Feds show up
and have questions for you. It doesn’t matter whether
you had anything to do with the crime or not.
NEW EDGES
A Friend of Mine (Social)
Lefty: [while walking with Donnie to meet up with
other crime family members] When I introduce you,
I'm gonna say, "This is a friend of mine." That means
you're a connected guy. Now if I said instead, this
is a friend of ours that would mean you a made guy.
A Capiche?
Donnie Brasco
Requirements: Seasoned, Streetwise, Persuasion d6+
This character takes great care to cultivate assets and
make friends of all kinds. A vast and strong network is
a commodity in the Underworld.
Once per session, the wise guy can create a contact
who’s able to provide immediate assistance. The player
character must give the Don at least basic information
on this individual. This could be a forger, a politician,
an arms dealer, or a witness. This individual happens
to owe the wise guy a favor.
5
 WISEGUYS - JUMPSTART
Cleaner (Professional)
Requirements: Novice, Healing d6
This character was trained to clean up crime scenes
and has knowledge of forensics methods used by law
enforcement during criminal investigations.
The cleaner can roll Healing at +2 to scrub a crime
scene using only household products, and can finish
the clean-up in half the time. They can also use Healing
instead of Notice or Survival to find and follow clues
from a crime scene.
Goodfella (Background)
Requirements: Novice, male, Italian heritage on the
father’s side
This honor is bestowed upon men of Italian descent
who have proven themselves loyal and profitable to La
Cosa Nostra.
Goodfellas have made their bones and got straight-
ened out. They are privy to secrets only members of the
brotherhood have access to. This prestigious title grants
a gangster the Streetwise Edge. If the character already
had this Edge, he can choose another Social Edge as
long as he meets the requirements.
A goodfella also gets a bunch of things for free. Their
clothes are swag and when they go to a restaurant, it’s
on the house. Associates kick money up to them as
well. Therefore, their Wealth die only goes down one
level per month if no Rewards were gained during
that time period, instead of every week. They also kick
up only 25% of their earnings instead of 50% (see La
Cosa Nostra.)
Goodfellas are also considered untouchable. Other
members of La Cosa Nostra will not lay hands on them
unless they have permission (see Omertà in the sidebar
for more information). This protection also extends to
other shady underworld individuals who won’t initi-
ate hostilities unless provoked first. Those who do can
count on the whole mafia family to exact their revenge
on the transgresser.
Finally, the life of a gangster comes at the expense of
responsibilities. Therefore, the mobster gains the Vow

You have mastered the art of fighting on roller skates.
While fighting on skates you are not considered on an

OmertA
This Italian word means “manhood”. It
is the code of silence.
Upon going through the sacred cer-
emony, new initiates agree to live by
the following code. Breaking the rules
invites other members to kill them.
1. Omertà. This oath, or “code of
silence”, prohibits made-men from
talking to the authorities.
2. Family secrets. Members aren’t
allowed to discuss family business
with outsiders.
3. Blood for blood. If a wise guy is
murdered by a peer, retaliation is
forbidden unless the boss gives
permission.
4. No fighting among members. Fist,
knife, gunfights. Doesn’t matter.
5. Tribute. A member must give
a portion of his earnings to the
boss each month. Wise guys call it
kicking up.
6. Adultery. You simply don’t sleep
with another man’s wife.
7. Dress Code. Wise guys consider
themselves businessmen and they
dress the part. They come to work
in a suit and clean shaven. And
tattoos are frowned upon. You
shouldn’t have any markings by
which you can be identified.

MARIO THE RAT
By now the crew has either made it to their hideout
or been arrested by the cops.
If they made it to the hideout, take a moment to ask
them what it looks like. Is it the back of a restaurant,
junkyard, or suburban house?
It’s also a good time to run an Interlude to fill in the
blanks about the hijacking. What was in the delivery
truck? Where were they going? Remind the players that
the bust looked like a setup. There must be a rat in their
midst. Give them a moment to roleplay this out before
moving to the next scene.
If the crew got arrested, you should run that Inter-
lude behind bars as the crew tries to make sense of what
happened. When the last crew member has said his
piece, Loony John comes to bail them out.

THE CANARY SINGS

In mafia lingo, singing like a canary means being an
informant for the police or to rat someone out.
This may come as no surprise but Mario Zella turned

without tipping his hand for much longer, the F.B.I.
decided to hurry things along and set up a hijacking to
apprehend the crew.
Needless to say, the bust doesn’t sit well with Loony
John and he suspects Mario’s a dirty rat. Mario can’t be
located in any of the valley’s police precincts.
It’s opening night for Coco, a disco star from the 70s, at
the Parthenon Theater. This means the place is packed
to the rafters with over-enthusiastic fans, and there’s
increased private security.
Finding Mario’s location is achieved by Networking
with a –2 penalty. As usual, it’s possible to use the Sup-
port rules. A failure means the crew finds out where
Mario is, but the F.B.I. knows they’re coming. A success
means they locate Mario down to the room number

CANARY IN A CAGE
There’s a very good reason why special agent Gary
Harrison wanted to stay at the Colossus tonight. The
dirty Fed uses his position to run a drug empire on the
side. The exuberant Coco and his stoic Russian manager
Grigory (a Bratva member) are his customers. Harrison
needs to unload 10 kilos of snow and figures the con-
cert ought to provide the perfect cover for the deal. The
agent's an egomaniac with a nervous tic he tries to con-
ceal by chewing on mints he grabs from a small antique
tin can. The three miscreants all have backstage passes
and intend to conduct the deal during intermission.
Unless the crew makes a ruckus or alerts the agents,
they reach the room. Mario and the agents keeping an
eye on him are not in their penthouse suite, however. A
brochure with pockets that once held tickets to the Coco
concert is found on the desk.
If the crew decides to lie in wait for Mario to return,
Loony calls them to inquire about the status of their
investigation. He urges them to seek out Mario before
he slips away.
The concert is sold out, so the crew needs to find
another way in. When they enter the amphitheater, the
concert is nearing the intermission, and the atmosphere
is festive. Most of the audience is wearing disco era
clothes. Locating Mario requires a success on a Notice
roll. A raise informs the crew that Russian Bratva goons
are protecting Mario and agent Harrison, while a failure
alerts the goons to the crew’s approach.
Once the music stops, Harrison makes his way back-
stage to conduct the deal with Coco and Grigory. If
the crew fails to intercept special agent Harrison, the 2
agent bodyguards, and his captive, they all disappear
backstage. The crew can also opt to take a shot through
the crowd but any firearm going off alerts the local cops
outside the building.
If confronted, Mario Zella denies being a rat. He gets
on his knees and begs for his life, claiming Gary Harri-
son is a dirty Fed and set him up.
If given the chance, Gary Harrison tries to reason
with the crew before they take care of Mario. He’s will-
ing to give up the surveillance files he has on them and
Loony John if they let him walk away with Mario Zella.
They can’t have both. If they kill him or Zella, they’ll
never find the files.

Everybody has their own way to let off some steam. After your husband left you alone to raise the kids, you needed to channel
all that frustration into something. That’s when you joined the local Roller Derby team. You used to play sports in high school
and always had an affinity for it. Other than beating up your husband, nothing’s better than the feeling of a contact sport like
Roller Derby. You always bring baked goods to the games.

One day, a mobster in attendance watched you play. Turns out he needed an enforcer, a real tough broad. Needless to say,
you’re having more fun than ever, but you have to keep this part of your life a secret. You love your kids and wouldn’t want
them to be taken away from you. If only the other parents at PTA meetings knew what you get up to at night.

Your father started taking you to Blue Bonnets (race tracks) in Montreal at a young age. He taught you everything he knew about
horse racing. When you were good, he’d let you place the bets.

One day, you saw your father getting roughed up by men in suits. Not long after that, he went out one night to buy cigarettes and
never came back. You figured that if you became someone he’d come back one day, so you started studying horses from around the
world, keeping data on every race. You started studying baseball as well, going to Jarry Park or driving down to New York. Eventually
Montreal became too small for you, your girlfriend became a junkie, and the local Zips started wanting a piece of you so you moved
to Las Vegas where you hooked up with a man who claims to have known your father. It’s easy money so far and you’re living the

Tommaso “Tommy Blue” Mazzotta

You grew up on the streets of Brooklyn, shinin’ shoes for the made-men of the neighborhood. Twenty years later you were one of ‘em on Burglar / Wise guy
account of havin’ been a good earner for the family. You learned how to defeat surveillance and security which helped you to become one of
the best house burglars in the city. You grew tough and smart. Now, people respect you or they get a few broken bones. And that’s if you’re in
a good mood that day.

You saw an opportunity to shed some of the heat and make money by movin’ to Las Vegas to protect the family’s interests. Turns out, your
reputation precedes you everywhere you go, and every time somethin’ goes wrong, the cops come knockin’ at your door and askin’ questions.
You’re more clever than them, though. Have you been pinched? Sure, plenty of times, but nothin’ sticks to you.

Winston Brown
Elvis impersonator / Pickpocket

Give you a few minutes; you can impersonate anyone you’ve observed before. Las Vegas has been a blessing for you. The weather is lovely
and every day out on the Strip, you stand at a corner dressed as Elvis, wearing your best suit. You sing, dance and make the crowd happy.
After they’ve paid to have their picture taken with you, you swipe their wallets.

You’re the best Elvis impersonator that’s ever lived and you’re ready to prove it to any contender. You prefer to stay outside of casinos
because, for some reason, you bring bad luck to gamblers around you.

All that hip-thrusting-wallet-snatching action has earned you the attention of the local mobsters. You were given the choice between two
broken legs, or to join a crew with the possibility of bigger scores while continuing with your act on your free time. You took the latter.
